"Black Skin, White Masks" is a seminal work by Frantz Fanon, published in 1952. The book explores the psychological effects of colonialism on black individuals, examining how racism and oppression shape identity and self-perception. Fanon argues that colonialism creates a sense of inferiority among colonized people, leading them to adopt the values and behaviors of the colonizers. Fanon delves into themes of identity, language, and culture, highlighting the struggle for self-acceptance in a world dominated by white supremacy. He emphasizes the importance of reclaiming one's identity and the need for decolonization, both socially and psychologically, to achieve true liberation.
